no,, dont boil it.... either dry it on the cob, or cut it off, let it dry thoroughly... then take a DRY frying pan (do NOT use oil or grease it goes rancid) and heat the pan, put in dried corn by handful and shake and cook till corn lightly browns and swells up, you can put the still hot corn in a bag or bowl and add some maple sugar to flavor it, or not, your choice... its GOOD
